    Yello - Oh Yeah. Back in the eighties, I loved Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and upon reading the film's credits, I discovered the ending song, Oh Yeah, was by a band called Yello. In the spirit of irony, I went to my local record shop in Burnie looking to get a copy for myself. I purchased a cassette copy of 'The New Mix In One Go' (a best of album), and it ignited a lifelong love of the band that persists to this day. Stella, the album from which it comes is also one of their best.

    Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the opposite: it was going to be a Christmas movie right up until the first day of shooting, when co-star Mia Sara pointed out that a high school student wouldn't have to play hooky during the holidays.
